The one ace in the hole we had against China was our subs.......a force they couldn't knock out with shore to ship missiles.....and now we find out how bad trouble we are in.....with joe biden, the Chinese communist employee of the month, running the Military....
As of this year, 18 of the US Navy’s 49 attack submarines — 37% — were out of commission, according to previously undisclosed Navy data published by the Congressional Research Service. That leaves the US at a critical disadvantage against China’s numerically superior fleet.
The maintenance backlog has “substantially reduced” the number of nuclear submarines operational at any given moment, cutting the “force’s capacity for meeting day-to-day mission demands and potentially putting increased operational pressure” on submarines that are in service, CRS naval analyst Ronald O’Rourke said in a July 6 report.
----
And all this at a time, we find out, that the Biden Administration is also slashing its shipbuilding proposals in the new defense budget:

And all this at a time, we find out, that the Biden Administration is also slashing its shipbuilding proposals in the new defense budget:
The Biden administration wants to enact sharp budget cuts to the U.S. Navy that would force it to prematurely retire almost a dozen ships and take offline critical missile systems that serve as a primary deterrent to Chinese aggression.
President Joe Biden’s 2024 budget proposal would deal a massive blow to the already strained American Navy—the White House wants to prematurely retire eight ships and two combat vessels. By taking these ships out of action, the Navy would lose more than 600 vertical launch missile systems—a missile capability that serves as the primary deterrent to Chinese military attacks in the Pacific.

Nearly 40% of U.S. Attack Submarines are Out of Commission
This at a time when China is ramping up its Navy capabilities, and while the Biden Administration proposes cutting shipbuilding
